Hello! Welcome to my site. My name is Sarah and I am a local mom here in the Smoky Mountains. I am a huge list maker and I have lists for my lists. I wanted to share with you all the things you can do in the area for under $20. I did a blog post about attractions you can do for under $12 and now I am attempting to do another blog post about things you can do in the Smoky Mountains that is under $20 and let me tell you, this has been hard to do.

I made this list years ago and kept it to myself. I keep updating this list because prices keep changing and going up. Please know that if you see a price on here and it is not the same on their site, you are more than welcome to contact me and I will try to update it. This list is meant to at least give you an idea of what you can do for a certain price range.

For instance, if you planned to spend $20 to play putt putt but then see here on this list you could have 2 full days of riding some rides at The Island, maybe you choose to do that to save money by having your full day covered. That has been the reason behind these kinds of lists. To help you make the most of the money you spend.

Be sure to also pick up coupon books such as The Navigator, The Smoky Mountain Coupon Book or Monster Coupons. You can find  lots of great coupons in those books.
